China unveils 19-measure plan: national blockchain network, integrated computing grid, full "AI+" push

The CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the "Opinions on Developing New Quality Productive Forces" — 19 measures in 7 sections — calling for a national blockchain network, an integrated national computing-power network, and a comprehensive "AI+" drive, while warning against speculative bubbles.
Why it matters
This is a top-level policy document jointly issued by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council. Naming a "national blockchain network" at the national-strategy level is a first since the BSN era; the full "AI+" rollout plus a future-industries list spanning quantum, 6G and fusion sketches China's tech-industry roadmap for the coming years.
Full story
The CPC Central Committee and the State Council jointly issued the "Opinions on Developing New Quality Productive Forces", comprising 7 sections and 19 measures; Xinhua published the full text on Oct 9, with wide coverage following on Oct 10.
The document calls for building a "national blockchain network" and an "integrated national computing-power network", piloting data markets, improving cross-border data-flow mechanisms, and establishing rules for data ownership, trading and benefit sharing — alongside a comprehensive "AI+" initiative embedding AI deep into the real economy.
Named strategic future industries include quantum technology, biomanufacturing, hydrogen energy, nuclear fusion, brain-computer interfaces and 6G, with requirements to nurture a data-factor market and improve data governance.
The document also explicitly warns against speculative hype and "herd investment" bubbles, holding officials accountable for major losses caused by policy misuse or blind investment. This report follows Xinhua's official text and adds no extra interpretation.
